Virtual agent use cases in ITSM
IT managers
A virtual agent is an essential tool for an IT manager focused on improving employee satisfaction in their organization. Deploying a VA can also help free up some time in the IT agent's calendar to focus on the more important tasks at hand and ensure round the clock service to employees. Using advanced technology like NLP and ML, a virtual agent can understand user queries' context and provide the most appropriate answers.
The virtual agent from Freshservice can be easily deployed on popular app platforms like MS Teams, Slack, or Freshchat to improve ticket deflection by close to 40%.
For Employees
For employees looking to find immediate solutions to their problems, a virtual agent is the best bet. Raising an issue and getting it resolved is as easy as simply sending a couple of messages back and forth on a messaging platform. Plus, this kind of support is available 24x7, and the cuts down drastically on the resolution times. Such a self-service process would help improve employee productivity as it will reduce the wait times for resolution and almost eliminates the need to contact a human agent.
